I am currently looking for new irons to buy, however, being left handed hinders me from testing different brands.  I was wondering if what you other lefty's do in this situation.  I'd like to buy a set of cobra irons but nobody ever has them in lefty.

I just purchased a 50 degree mizuno wedge without testing because I needed one and the reviews were good.

Any thoughts ?

It's a pain being lefty.

There is a website dedicated to us, but I do not know anything about the evaluation process.

Ah that's not good. There's gotta be something close that has other brands no? Unless you're tucked away in a remote area?

Im gonna check that website out and see what it is

No I'm located in a good area and every store I go to basically only carries ping and TM as far as Irons go... I can usually find some other drivers but that's it

Come to Canada, they have a lot of lefty-players and lefty clubs! :)

All joking aside, most of the brands I've tested have full sets, right and left, available for testing. Some of the specialty clubs (gap wedge, lob wedge) they don't have, but that's pretty rare.

Driver: :cobra: BiO Cell (10.5º)

Wood: :ping: G15 3 (15.5°)

Hybrids: :callaway: Diablo Edge: 3 (21º), 4 (24º)

Irons: :callaway: Diablo Edge: 5-PW

Wedges: :cleveland:588 RTX CB 50º, Paradise Black Chrome II Sand Wedge 56º

Oh I know lol, I am in Canada :)) And it's true about the lefties, lots of hockey players.

      Day 23: weird day, and only had a little bit of time. Just did mirror work again, working on where the elbow is in the downswing

      I flipped over to this tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it. Anyone else watch? I picked it up during the golf relay event, but seeing these pros out having fun in alternative events was refreshing and entertaining. I’m sure it will be on in reruns in the next week or so, so I won’t spoil the outcome. Im curious what others thought of it. I’m recording it’s later airing to see the beginning.

      Day 37 (17 Dec 25) - nine hole round with my good friend.  We got paired up with a couple of the men’s group regulars as part of their shootout.  Started off with a wonderful quad bogie and then a dbl on three to be six over thru three holes.  Game went 180° over the next five as I shot one under (including a chip in birdie on hole six and four up and down 1 putt pars) for a net finish of five over. What could have been a really tough nine became a solid finish due to staying in the moment and not checking out.  Great day in course management and keeping perspective .
